BosroN, MASS, April 25.-In the
United States Circuit Court today the
Bell Telephone Company filed q de-
murrer to the governments suit to

stripped Of some OF lis formalities, sets
forth that the said bill is multifarious
in that 1t joirs legations and prayers
for relief in reepect Of patents No.
ia, 465, dated March 6, 1879, and allie
cations and prayers for relief in re-
spect Of No. l86,757, dated January

out which OF the psrsons, patents and
publications referred to In its several
schedules anticipate each Of the in
vsntions claimed in the said two pat.
ents respectively. nor in the several
claims Of each, II appearing by said

continues: As to each and every
charge In said bill sets forth as the ba'
els OF attacks on the validity OF said
patents or any calm Of either Of them,
this defendant demurs thereto sepa
rately, for the reason that it does moi
chow the said patent to be void, and
also becaute the allegations herein
contained, II true, would no. entitle
the plaintiff to the relief prayed for
nor to any relief in a court Of equity
The demurrer will be argued some
weeks hence on date to be assigned
by the court.

MONTEREY, CAL,, April "a The evil
dence against Simmons, who was ar.
rested yesterday charged with having
fred the Hotel del Monte, is said to
be very strong. 1t is known beyond a
doubt that the wa,er pipes had been
tempered with. All circumstances
point to the probability that the whole
matter had been thought out by the
person to make succt es of the scheme.
The man who set fire to the Hotel del
Monte did so with the intention Of
making q clean sweep, and fully sue
ceeded. What evidsrce the officers
have OF his guilt Ia not known, but it
ia said by Chief Brown tnat they have
eye witnesses who will testify they
saw Simmons walk from the direc ion
OF the fire few minutes before the
flames were discovered; also that when
1t was found that the books were I'M
injured by the fire an investigation
was made, and 1t was discovered that
Simmons was $4,000 short in his &C
counts. Another Ella ement Ia that al
the time OF the fire, when every one
wac doing all they could 10 save lives
aud property, Simmons was walking
around with his hands in his pockets,
and when requested to lend his assist
anCe, replied, II have nothing more to
do with this place."
